Pickford Stuffing

This Pickford stuffing is the most amazing sausage stuffing recipe you will ever make! It’s so good we make it at Thanksgiving, Easter and year round with dinner!

This. Is. Amazing! Every holiday when we’re thinking of what we’re going to make we think of this Pickford stuffing. We first had it about 10 years ago when I had just given birth to my second daughter a few days before Thanksgiving and my neighbor brought dinner over to us. (originally published 2/17)

We were bummed we couldn’t make it to the big feast with our family but was surprised when on our doorstep arrived 2 plates filled with turkey, sweet potatoes, and this incredible stuffing. We were so happy!

After we ate it we just couldn’t stop talking about “that stuffing”… still do ’til this day.

Now when any holiday is around the corner I think back on that amazing stuffing and just had to find out what was in it… I finally asked my friend to share “the secret” with me (and now with you). If you’re looking for the best stuffing recipe ever, this is it!

Seriously….it tastes just as I remember (having it for lunch right now)!

Ok so it definitely comes along with great memories for me as I flash back to the days when my now 10 year old was an itty bitty thing, but making it again reminds me of just how good it really was (and is).

Packed with LOTS of flavor it could almost be a meal in itself, but also perfect along side turkey during Thanksgiving or at Easter time too.

Use a good base (bagged stuffing pcs.) that is already seasoned, this Pepperidge Farm herb stuffing is the ONLY type we use to make this Pickford stuffing

Load it up with (diced) vegetables you love, and onions

Add some meat to your stuffing, if you’ve never done it you’ll love the addition – we always use a roll of spicy ground sausage (must be spicy in our opinion for the BEST stuffing ever)

Make it separately, not inside the bird

if you just must have some inside go for it, but cook the majority of your stuffing on the stovetop as I show in the video I’ve included in this post

Season after you’re done

the dry herb stuffing mix suggested here + the spicy sausage lends a TREMENDOUS amount of flavor so I usually don’t add any seasonings, but if you normally do wait until it is done – taste – and decide whether you really need more so you don’t over-season it

This is what you need and how to make Pickford stuffing

When I asked my friend Valerie if I could share this recipe, and she said “yes, if you call it the Pickford Stuffing”, because that’s where this recipe came from (her Mom’s side of the family)! Seriously the best recipes are always passed down from our Grandmas or Moms right. 😉

Now that “the secret” is out I can make it at every holiday from now on and remember those days at home with my newborn, the sweet neighbor who thought of us on that holiday, and pass it along to my kids to make when they’re older too.
